These days there's product upon product stacked on the supermarket shelves promising to give make your home sparkle and shine, but do you really need them?I definitely don't think you do although there are a few that I buy - Domestos bleach and Fairy Liquid are the two main ones that I can think of. Domestos because my Mam always used to say that the only bleach she would buy was Domestos and it's in my head now even though I know you can probably get cheaper bleach that's just as effective. I have tried a couple of times but always gone back to Domestos.Domestos because my Mam … [Read more...]
Homemade shabby chic Christmas decorations….
I know, I know, it's only just November but I couldn't wait to share our homemade shabby chic Christmas decorations with you!I'm quite fussy when it comes to what goes on my Christmas tree but these cute little shabby chic Christmas decorations will definitely be taking centre stage as I love them - they're much more me than the shiny glittery traditional style baubles that you normally see. The kids are all about the glitter so our main tree is quite traditional with lots of sparkle and big traditional decorations but I love these cute little shabby chic Christmas decorations that … [Read more...]
The secret to an amazing family holiday when you’re travelling with teenagers….
Travelling with teenagers is NOT easy!When we went to Milan in May, we had a lovely time but I can’t help but look back and remember some of the family arguments we had! For our recent trip to Monaco and Nice, I was determined to do things differently to make sure we had a more harmonious break!Milan was great and we did have an amazing time but there's not getting away from the fact that phrases like ‘She’s using my Wifi’, ‘He just looked at me’ and ‘Just do as you’re told’ don’t bring back the greatest memories as you can imagine.I shared my tips on how to travel with teens … [Read more...]
Five Frugal Things I’ve done this week {27th October 2017}….
1) I've printed out a batch of my 'No Halloweeners here' sign for some friends who have young children that they don't want disturbing after a certain time. You can print one off for yourself if you'd like to here.I've seen that you can buy them in shops for a couple of pounds but it costs me pennies to print one off for them and it saves the stress of hoping that each knock isn't going to wake the kids up.2) I've made a batch of my homemade Halloween chocolate bark this week using a cheap pack of Halloween sweets that I got from the pound shop. I use value chocolate when I make … [Read more...]
Using milk paints to upcycle furniture….
Today I'm going to share how you can upcycle a table using milk paints, something I learned at a class I went along to recently as part of my mission to create every day and spend a little more time on me!I love the idea of using milk paints, which is something I hadn't even heard of until I went to the Festival of Thrift last month but now that I've tried it, I'll definitely be using it again! Basically, milk paint is a non-toxic paint which contains no additives or distillates that can cause any harm to people, pets or the environment. It's made from iron oxide pigment, milk casein … [Read more...]
How to have an AMAZING last minute Halloween party without breaking the bank….
When Poundworld asked me to review their Halloween range for them on the same day that Miss Frugal asked if she could have all of her friends around after a trip out they were planning to go to a super scary Halloween event near where we live, the temptation to have a last minute Halloween party was too much for me!I'm not one for being organised though so considering the party is tonight, I only started preparing for it this morning as I've had a super busy week so haven't had the chance to get into town to go to Poundland. All is good though because they have a huge range of … [Read more...]
